Sklar Hosobuchi Pituitary Curette, Fork Shape
A straight tip, fork shaped, 10-1/4 inch Sklar Hosobuchi pituitary curette, used by neurosurgeons to remove tissue during pituitary tumor surgery.
The Sklar Hosobuchi Pituitary Curette is a 10-1/4 inch instrument with a straight tip in a fork shape, used to scrape and remove tumor or tissue from the surgical cavity during trans-sphenoidal pituitary surgery. The fork shaped tip differs from a standard cupped curette by offering a different tissue engagement surface, which some neurosurgeons prefer for particular tissue consistencies or locations within the pituitary fossa encountered during tumor removal.
Its 10-1/4 inch length is suited to reaching the deep surgical cavity accessed through the trans-sphenoidal corridor. Neurosurgeons use curettes like this alongside other Hosobuchi and Hardy pattern instruments, including blades, dissectors and spoons, as part of a complete pituitary and skull base surgery instrument set.
This is a single configuration listing as offered by Sklar for this pattern, made from surgical grade stainless steel and intended for repeated sterilized use in neurosurgical practice wherever trans-sphenoidal tumor removal is performed.
